How fast does light travel? It travels very fast indeed. Early scientists found it
ery hard to measure the speed of light. The picture shows how Galileo tried to
measure the speed of light in the seventeenth century.
'' This method works
fine for sound but
not for light!'' he says

• His friend stood on a distant hill.
• Galileo flashed his lamp and started his clock at the same moment.
• When his friend saw the light, he flashed his lamp back towards Galileo,
• When Galileo saw the flash, he noted the time taken on his clock.
Unfortunately, this method didn't work. This was because the light travelled
J uuickly from one hill to the other. It took only a tiny fraction of a second.
T o much longer for his friend to see the light and react to it, flashing his
own lamp.
This method would work quite well if Galileo wanted to measure the
ed of sound. If his friend was 3000 m away, how long would the sound
to travel between the two hills? The speed of sound is about 300 m/s.

Need asap which of these is an example of a hypothesis? (2 points) a. adults were not interviewed b. the investigation was time consuming c. the source of information was biased d. very few teenagers were interviewed scientists in different parts of the world have conducted experiments to find the speed of light in vacuum. if the results of the experiments are identical, they would most likely be (2 points) a. valid b. biased c. unreliable d. non-observable which of these questions can be answered using science? (2 points) a. what is the best career? b. does water exist on venus? c. should the use of automobiles be stopped? d. which is the most interesting subject to study? the models can be best used to (2 points) recreate something which is easily observed in nature prove that all atomic theories have the same meaning demonstrate the transformation of atomic theory into law represent the locations of subatomic particles in different atomic theories 22. (bws.06) scientists earlier believed that the lowest measurable temperature is the freezing point of ice. however, modern scientists believe that temperatures below the freezing point of ice can also exist. what best accounts for these different opinions? (2 points) scientists propose contradictory ideas to include all possibilities scientists come up with different hypotheses without enough evidence scientists propose different ideas to avoid repetition of scientific knowledge scientists having different interests may interpret the same data in different ways based on the graph, what is the most likely mass of an apple chosen randomly from the basket? (2 points) between 0.10 kg and 0.12 kg between 0.12 kg and 0.14 kg between 0.14 kg and 0.16 kg between 0.16 kg and 0.18 kg a scientist studies a model of a widely accepted theory about the position of planets and sun. the model would most likely the scientist to (2 points) prove that the theory would not change in the future demonstrate how the theory can be changed into a law understand facts which cannot be easily observed prove that all other facts about the universe are incorrect one scientist discovered a new theory on the evolution of the universe. what is the next step for the scientist to take? (2 points) transform the results of the theory into universal laws of nature inform the scientific community so they can verify the results call a press conference to make the discovery popular among people encourage scientists worldwide to find an appropriate application for the results the students' observations are listed below. when an iron nail is taken near the north pole (n) of the bar magnet, it is pulled towards the magnet. when an iron nail is taken near the south pole (s) of the bar magnet, it is pulled towards the magnet. the experiment was repeated by several students using different bar magnets. based on the investigations, which of these theories would the students most likely propose? (2 points) magnets attract iron nails the poles of a magnet attract all materials iron nails are attracted towards all materials iron nails have the same properties as magnets
